1. Open Discussion
  2. Nutrient Analysis
  3. Make sure you are checking the nutrient analysis on a recipe before you make it.
  4. If it doesn’t meet nutrient requirements try to adjust recipe.
  5. If recipe is beyond repair don’t be afraid to ask Odessa to trash it.
  6. Export your nutrition label in jpg format not bitmap
  7. Instagram Stories
  8. We are going to be posting more Instagram stories, if you would like to be tagged in the one’s that are yours, make sure you follow the DT Instagram.
  9. Hashtags
  10. It is your responsibility to provide Courtney and myself with hashtags in your “blurbs”.
  11. Newsletter “From”
  12. The newsletter says it is “from Odessa Appel” when you look at it on your phone but not on a desktop.
  13. No way we can see to fix it at this time because the account has to be tied to an email.
  14. We will always ensure we are doing everything to the best of our ability to make sure it is coming “from” Dinner Tonight.
  15. Throwing out recipes
  16. Recipes that exist on the website can be thrown out if they don’t meet nutrition requirements or if they are terrible recipes.
  17. Write on the calendar that you want it thrown out so we all can keep track of what is going on with that recipe.
  18. How To Videos
  19. We have gotten into a habit of doing fewer how to videos, when possible we need to be doing them.
  20. Keep in mind these videos may be something you are already filming!!! i.e. Michelle’s kale de-stemming video (it was a video clip from her recipe video that doubled as a ‘how-to’)
  21. Research Based vs. Non Research based
  22. When we talk about food safety or nutrition information or statistics we always need to use a reliable source (preferably government and edu websites only), you as team members are responsible for providing the link to that resource so we can give credit and maintain credibility.
  23. When we are discussing other things like what is a quiche vs. what is a frittata we can use non-research based sources but they still need to have a good reputation that we can refer back to – Bon appetit or similar is my recommendation.
  24. Stock Photos & IOW
  25. Try not to accidentally remove files from the folder! It can happen easily with the desktop version, be sure you are always copying something to a new folder instead of dragging it.
  26. We will work on renaming the stock photos so they are easier to sort through.
  27. Graphics from other sources
  28. On several occasions we have had team members submit (very cool and fun!) graphics from sources such as the USDA, but they are in a long or awkward shape. For these types of graphics we still need you to provide us with a canva title card to post on social media.
  29. Renaming Recipes
  30. We discussed renaming recipes when appropriate here are a few suggestions when renaming
  31. Don’t rename just for the sake of renaming, it is a lot less work if we don’t have to
  32. Only rename recipes that don’t describe (or overly describe) the dish i.e. Easy Minestrone Pasta should be shortened to Minestrone Pasta, the “easy” is more distracting than it is helpful, all of our dishes should be easy.
  33. When to use Syncplicity vs. Calendar
  34. Think of syncplicity as your file storage tool and the calendar as your communication tool.
  35. Try and avoid storing files in the calendar.
  36. Descriptive words added to team resource page
  37. Holiday Features/Recipe Booklets for 2019/PTTP
  38. We reminded everyone who has what holiday’s and in theory a new team member will take over Julie’s Halloween content.
  39. Dinner Tonight Recipe Calendar
  40. Discussed new giveaways for 2019
  41. Meal planning sheets
  42. Magnets
  43. Recipe Booklet Themes
  44. Mindful eating – limit waste
  45. Meal Planning
  46. It all starts with Ag
  47. “Create Your Own” – Nebraska Extension
  48. Perforated vs. not
  49. Give me feedback you here!!!

  57. Food Photography Lessons
  58. Resources will be emailed out and place on DT Team Resource webpage
  59. Content 2018-2019
  60. Focus on priority recipes! Recipes without pictures, nutrition labels
  61. Emily has made a list of top priority recipes, start referencing that list when choosing upcoming recipes! When you choose a new recipe you are responsible for updating both spreadsheets to indicate that recipe is taken
  62. If you decide to use a different recipe than the one that is currently on the calendar, it is your responsibility to check to make sure no one else has already reserved the recipe and to update the calendar and spreadsheets
  63. Took recommendations for potential new members!!!
  64. Names will be omitted to protect privacy
  65. We also discussed a desire to partner with the Beef Cattle Short course and I will pursue that.
